I've owned this for about 3 years and driven it all over town and the mountains until I seized the engine a few months ago. Everything was reliable until the engine died. The seats were solidly mounted with to the stock brackets after about 10 hours of fabrication. I have no idea what the seats came from but they're leather, power and very comfortable. The passenger seat has a 1" tear that isn't noticeable to most people and could easily be repaired. I have not finished hooking up the power to the seats. The dash is cracked and peeling. Where the bezel surround the air controls I narrowed it and removed the coin holder that is normally there. You may notice the radio is not in the stock location because of this. The radiator is a polished aluminum radiator that was installed in 2013 and works great. It's made especially for a Cruiser. I installed a Specter Offroad smog pump delete bracket/pulley. The reason why a few engine items are missing is because I thought I was going to put a 5300 in it but I have too many projects and too little time. This does have rust in the normal spots. I cut out most of the rust and replaced it with fresh metal around the drivers side rear wheel area. The passenger side still has the rust. The tailgate has rust on the bottom 1". You could replace the rust with fresh metal, use it as is or get another tailgate. The roof rail has rust bubbles around it. This has the original front and rear bumpers which are pretty straight. The transmission and transfer case work great. Clutch is good. You'll see the the rear window needs replaced. It has a hole in it. All seat belts are there an installed. Door panels would look better if you replaced them too. I purchased the wheels from Summit back in September and they fit great along with the 33x10.50-15 BFG's. One tire is new and the other three are good tires. They do not need replaced. This does not have a lift kit on it and the tires are tight but with a little massaging around the fender wells they'll fit perfectly. There are a couple of spots that get some tire rub but very little. The lights work and it's ready for a new engine.
This Cruiser needs an engine, carb and distributor to drive. Nothing else. Everything else it could use is cosmetic. It's a project.

  • Carburetor is missing
  • Distributor and coil are missing
  • Cruise Control is there but disconnected
  • Air Conditioning works
  • Heat Works
  • Rear heater was removed
  • Front Wipers work
  • Fuel Gauge works
  • Tachometer works
  • Speedometer needs $20 gear in the transfer case (easy to install)
  • Radio is cheapo but works
  • 4X4 works great
  • Hitch is installed
  • New tail light lenses from Specter
If you want it shipped then I can have it at my business in Garden City, Idaho for a truck to pick it up. Right now it's at my house.Shipping is the buyers responsibility. I can help load it.

New version of Toyota FT-1 Concept gets racy for Gran Turismo 6

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

Gran Turismo 6 has been the preferred marketing springboard for quite a few brands and concept cars since its debut last winter. Specifically the GT Vision concept idea - allowing manufacturers a built-in place to offer up new, original, drivable content - has enticed the likes of Mercedes, Nissan, Volkswagen, Toyota and more to dream big on the digital stage before pulling the sheets back on real concept cars.
In fact, Toyota teamed its live reveal of the FT-1 Concept at the Detroit Auto Show with an in-game launch of the car, just this past January. Looking for a second bite at the GT6 apple, Toyota has just released a teaser video for a new, FT-1 Vision GT version of the same concept.
The company isn't giving us much to go on save for the 30-second video, saying only that the concept was penned by Toyota's Calty Design Research team in California, and that it will "soon be available for download." By the looks of it, the new FT-1 seems to be more of a racecar than the original, without obvious changes to the basic form. No word on whether or not there's a physical concept car in the offing at a yet-to-be-named auto show. Stay tuned.

Toyota recalls 4,000 Tacoma pickups over valve springs

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

When you build as many cars and trucks as Toyota does, you're bound to run into the occasional recall. In the past month alone, the Japanese auto giant has recalled over 800,000 Camry, Avalon and Venza models over problems with the air-conditioning units, and 10,000 more before that over windshield wiper issues. Now Toyota has issued another recall notice, but this time for far fewer vehicles.
The recall revolves around the engine valve springs in the 2013 and 2014 Tacoma, specifically those fitted with the standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and not the optional 4.0-liter V6. The issue is that the valve springs are prone to cracking and breaking over time, and results from improper maintenance of the manufacturing equipment used by one of the two suppliers that outfit Toyota with the components in question.
All told, some 4,000 vehicles will be subject to the voluntary recall, the owners of which will receive notice by mail. If you think that could be you and want to get a jump on the problem, you can read the announcement below and call Toyota yourself.

This first-gen Toyota Celica is one mean mother

Tue, 09 Jul 2013

Brian Karasawa's gen-one Toyota Celica is, in a word, badass. As a long-standing fan of the marque, the doting owner has tried to both restore and improve his Celica keeping period-correct modifications in mind. The 20R/22R mashup engine is outputting roughly 185 horsepower and graced with a lot of JDM-specific parts and modifications. Clearly, the exhaust has been upgraded from stock, as clips of the orange Toyota in motion are accompanied by one hell of a nice sound.
Tastes clearly vary, and there's not as much love for the first-wave of Japanese metal as there is for similar era American-iron, but we're pleased to see these cars finally getting more time in the spotlight. Scroll down below to see why we're stoked, and consider cruising your local Craigslist for late 1970s and early 1980s Japanese coolness (before we get there first).
